A Physicians Narrow Escape.
From the Baltimore Sun


A physician of Washington had thrilling ex-
perience recently, which will doubtless cause
him to be very cautious about giving ladies a
lift" while he is driving OYER the suburban
roads. He has a spirited pair of bays, of which
he is very proud Almost every evening he may
be seen driving at good rate of speed over the
excellent roads outside the city. A short time
ago while he was going over his customary
route he was accosted by woman. He was
asked for a short "iift," and he stopped his
horses and allowed the woman to take seat be-
side him. He had gone but a short distance
when he discovered that his companion was not
a woman but a man in woman's clothes AS
soon as an opportunity offered he dropped his
whip on the road. Ife told the supposed woman
that he was afraid to get out because the horses
were wild and might take fright and start off
without him and asked his companion TO get the
whip for him. AS soon as the man got out of the
carriage the physician started his horses at
a breakneck speed down the road He had
gone but short distance when a man jumped
from behind a hedge and tried to stop the team,
but failed to do So The physician found self
acting revolver in the muff his companion
left in the carriage, He thinks he narrowly
escaped being the victim of wel-concocted
plan to rob him.

sharper competition for work, and finally
lowers the scale of wages as well as the
number of men employed.

irving to Catch the Prohihitionista.

Trying to Catch the Prohibitionists.
The Prohibition party of New York is al
most wholly composed of seceders from the
Republican party. The Prohibition party
polled 500 votes in 1850, and 30 900 III 1886
The probabilities are that it will poll $1,000
this year.
The Republicans cannot carry New York
this fall without the help of the Prohibition
lists, unless the labor parties draw many more
votes from the Democratic party than
it is now expected they will.
In the Republican platform there
is a plank intended to catch the Pro
hibitionists. 1t asserts that the Republican
party will do anything that unreasonable to
provide healthy regulations for the liquor
traffic.
The Republican leaders make the mistake
of Supposing that the Prohibitionists can be
drawn away from their purpose by insincere
promises, They have fixed up their platform
with the hope of winning back
the Prohibitionists. Their insincerity,
however, is as apparent to the Prohibition
lists as it is to themselves. The Republicans
of New York are not in favor of prohibi-
ton, and if they had the power would not
pass prohibition laws.
At their meeting at Chickering Hall last
Saturday night to ratify their State ticket
all of the speakers dwelt upon the i'm
portance of securing the assistance of the
Prohibitionists. The young ex-reform
Mayor of Brooklyn, Seth Low, intimated
that without them the Republicans could
not carry the State. He gave several
reasons why they should return TO their
allegiance to the Republican party, and
wound up by admitting that he was not
Prohibitionist. This admission was greeted
with applause, showing that the Republi
cans have written falsehood in their plat
form to catch the Prohibitionists. They
must be very poor politicians or have very
low opinion of the intelligence of the Pro-
hibitionists.
The thing that the politicians do not seem
to be able to understand is that the people
cannot be deceived by flattery and insincere
declarations. The people read and think
for themselves, and they understand all
public questions just about as well as the
politicians do The fraudulent temperance
plank in the platform of the New York Re
publicans will hurt, as it ought to, rather
than help the Republican party of that

The site has been chosen for the great
Episcopal cathedral of New York, which
has 50 long been talked of. 1t is located on
One Hundred and Tenth street and Tenth
avenue, comprising several acres of ground,
and the price agreed upon is 81, 200, 900. 1t
is intended that the building to be erected
upon this site shall be the finest
and most imposing of any devoted to a
like purpose on this continent. As it is ex-
pected to cost about Sl0,0O0,00O and only a
comparatively small amount has yet been
raised, it will probably be years before the
actual work Of contraction is begun. The
denomination of which it will be the princi-
pal church is a very wealthy one, but so
great en- undertaking will severely task its
resources.

What the Governor Said.

Washington Letter to PhiladelphiG Record.
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Thomp-
son was formerly Governor of South Carolina,
and might, therefore, be supposed to know more
or less about that famous remark of the Gov
ernor of North Carolina. He said to me the
other day that it was marvellous how far that
remark had travelled During his long tour of
inspection among the lighthouses and life saving
stations on the great lakes this summer he
heard of it in the most unexpected ways and
places. why" he continued, lone day Mr..
Kimball (the Superintendent of the Life Saving
Service) and l went ashore at little village
to get shaved. We found a barber's shop
and two nquisitive BARRIERS The one
who shaved me asked questions about my
Journeyings until he found out that was from
Washington, and then he asked me whether
had place in any of the departments told
him had, but did not tell him what it was, and
he did not think it well to pursue the subject.
He got through before the other barber, and
told Kimball as | surrendered my chair to an
old countryman that l would wait for him out
side. No sooner had | gone than my barber
asked Kimball who l was. That was Gov
Thompson, of South Carolina" he said now
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. With that
the old farmer rose up in his chair, all lathered
as he was, and said DO you suppose he would
tell me what it was the Governor of North Caro-
lima said to him. " l asked Gov Thompson who
those famous Governors were, and Just what oc-
CURED at their famous meeting. He said that he
did not know them by name, and that the story
was old when he was born. the tradition was
that the Governor of North Carolina in the good
old days when prohibition was not dreamed of
iourneyed. on horseback of course, to make
formal call on the Governor of South Carolina
The latter had a jug full of liquor IN the house
at the time, and for some inexplicable reason
could get no more. When his distinguished
guest arrived he set the jug out on the table and
invited the Governor of North Carolina to make
himself at home. The guest drank copiously,
the host moderately, to preserve at once his so
berness and his liquor. At last he saw with dis
may that his guest had drank the last drop of
the precious liquor. The guest was too drunk
to know it, but he missed the familiar invita-
ton of the host to take another drink. So
leaning on his elbows, he looked across the ia
BILE reproachfully with the melancholy remark:
Governor, it's long time between drinks"

Dangerous Haste of Health officer
smith.


The Health Officer at New York is begin
ming to realize that it is by no means so
easy a matter as he pretended to think it
would be to get the cholera at Hoffman
Island under complete control. About the
middle of last week he announced that he
thought the disease at the island had about
spent its force, and that it would claim no
more victims. Three days afterward the
disease claimed three more victims 1t is
pretty certain that the Health Officer
has all along been too confident of
his ability to quickly get the cholera under
control, and to prevent it from securing a
lodgment on the mainland.
The cold weather which will soon prevail
at New York may check the disease on
Hoffman Island. but it is not certain that it
will kill the germs Of it.. If the great
est precautions are not taken the
chances are that it will make its APP
pearance next summer in the various
parts of the country in which the Hoffman
Island immigrants may locate. They
ought not to be permitted to carry any of
their clothing or bedding away from the
island. All of their belongings should be
burned, and they should be provided with
new clothing by New York or the general
government. The Health Officer may insist
that there is no necessity for such extra
ordinary precautions, but no attention
should be paid to what he says on that sub
ject. Nobody knows much about either
cholera or yellow fever, except that wher-
ever either finds Judgment it
claims good many victims, and claims
them quickly. 1t will be much the wiser
and safer plan to spend few thousands of
dollars in furnishing the immigrants with
clothes than to allow them TO enter New
York and from there scatter over the coun-
try, dressed in the clothes which for weeks
have been exposed to cholera-infected at
mosphere.
1t would not be at all surprising if it should
turn out that the steamer AleSia, which
brought the cholera to this country, was
allowed to go to New York city altogether
too soon after being relieved of her immi-
grant passengers. It seems that all her
cabin passengers were permitted to go ashore
a few days after she reached port and
doubtless her crew are now wandering about
the streets Of New York and Brooklyn. II
may be that Health Officer Smith is making
no mistakes in handling the Alesia and
her passengers. 1t is certainly to be
hoped that he isn't, but it is not too much to
been highly appreciated, not only by the
people of New York, Brooklyn and Jersey
City, but also by the entire country.

1t now turns out that the young woman,
Nellie Brown, or Nellie Moreno, who made
such a mysterious appearance at Woman's
Home in New York, and was finally sent to
the insane asylum, was clever female re-
porter of a New York newspaper, who
adopted this means of gaining information
as to the inside administration of the asylum
from the standpoint of patient. Her re-
port is now being printed and is interesting.
Her experience proves how uncertain and
elusive are the symptoms of insanity.
Though her madness was feigned, the pre-
tense deceived physicians who are supposed
to be experts.

Henry George has lately been denying
that he is a Socialist. In answer to this
denial it is fair to quote from his Progress
and Poverty" written long before he ex-
pected TO be candidate for public office
In that book he says: "The ideal of Social
ism is grand and noble, and it is, ana con-
wheel, possible of realization, but
such state of society can
not be manufactured-it must
grow" He goes even further, saying that
"al that is necessary to social regeneration
is included in the motto of those Russian
patriots, sometimes called Nihilists-'Land
and Liberty" After reading these SEN
fences it is almost impossible not TO believe
that George would be hand and glove with
such fellows as the Chicago Anarchists were
itNot that he is more polite and less honest
tbau they.

A Powerless Railroad President.

Mr.. Robert Garrett, nominal President of
showing himself to be very great man.
He ran off to Europe Immediately after the
failure of Ives & Staynor to complete their
deal for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
system, though nobody attempted to ex-
plain why he left the country at time
when the great company of which he is
President was in trouble. He came back to
New York rather suddenly last week, and
found that in his absence the Baltimore and
Ohio telegraph lines had been Sold. He
pretended to be very angry about the mat
ter, and declared that the sale should not be
consummated. The sale will be consum-
mated, however, if, in fact, it has not
already been, and that, too, without consult
ing Mr.. Garrett about the matter.
II seems that he had scheme to unite the
Baltimore and Ohio telegraph system with
the Postal Telegraph and the United lines.
and with the combination thus formed
to bring the Western Union to its knees,
so to speak. He seems to be much
better qualified to suggest schemes than TO
carry them out. Indeed, it is doubtful if
any of his schemes could be carried out with
a profit TO those investing in them. The
idea of his bringing the Western Union to
its knees is preposterous. Jay Gould must
have smiled audibly when he heard of his
ambitious project.
Mr.. Garrett has probably ceased to be a
power i'll the business world. He may still
remain shining light in the social world
